Installing a Cartridge

Mechanical Assembly
1. Unpack the cartridge and carefully remove its stylus assembly.
Place the stylus assembly out of harm's way.
Mount the new cartridge to the headshell assembly.
Use the mounting hardware supplied with the new cartridge.
Tighten the mounting screws until just snug.
Replace the stylus assembly briefly to check for mechanical
interference with the mounting hardware. The stylus assembly
should click into place. Make certain the new cartridge is properly
positioned in the headcase assembly per the manufacturer's
instructions. Again remove the stylus assembly for safekeeping.
Warning: Important information if you intend to play 78 RPM/SP
records on this turntable
The cartridge stylus that is supplied with your LP120 turntable,
Audio-Technica's AT95E, while ideally matched for both 33 and
45 RPM material, is NOT suitable for playback of 78 RPM/SP material.
Using a cartridge stylus matched for 33 and 45 RPM records will
quickly damage a 78 RPM/SP record.
If you intend to playback 78 RPM/SP material on this turntable, we
recommend that you contact your regional Audio-Technica Customer
Services Dept. (or Authorised Importer's Customer Service Dept.)
for advice on selecting alternative Audio-Technica cartridges that are
optimised for the playback of 78 RPM/SP records and which can be
easily fitted to this turntable.

Electrical Connections
1. Four terminals at the rear of the cartridge are color coded to match
standard wiring in stereo tone arms. [See Figure 8.] Connect the
cartridge with the slip-on lugs provided on the headshell wiring.
NEVER SOLDER TO CARTRIDGE TERMINALS! Heat applied to
the terminals will damage the internal cartridge wiring.
2. For monaural operation, the left and right signal leads should be
connected to the monaural output terminal and the left and right
ground leads should be connected to the ground terminal.
3. Finally, gently push the stylus onto the cartridge body being
careful not to damage the stylus. The stylus assembly should click
into place. Replace the headshell assembly onto the tone arm
taking care not to damage the stylus assembly.
(Note: After replacing the cartridge, reset the tone arm balance, stylus
force and anti-skate based on the cartridge's specifications.)
